Looks like the San Fran Nanny may end up caught out. I wonder if she'll have to fire an aide ... though she can't do much about those other Democrat Leaders now can she?
Check this out -- the offices of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are denying a Washington Post story today saying that Congressional Democrats have backed down to the White House by offering to remove Iraq withdrawal language from the now-vetoed Iraq bill.
Pelosi just went before the Democratic caucus and informed them that the story's false, a Pelosi aide tells me. WaPo is standing by the story, and the lead writer of the Post piece, Jonathan Weisman, told me that leadership aides told him that the withdrawal language had to go. But the WaPo story goes further than that, saying explicitly that Dems have already "backed down" and offered the concession of removing the withdrawal language. Those aren't the same thing.
Why report that Dems have already caved in the negotiations if they haven't yet?
From an email a lib blogger received from the Washington Post. We surrendered, we did not. As usual, two stories out of the same mouth with this lot. Liberal leadership - forthright, true - not!
That is very interesting, since I was told in no uncertain terms by one of her aides that the withdrawal dates had to go, since they could not stand by language Bush would never sign. That was cofirmed(sic) by another senior leadership aide and two members of the leadership.
I can say with no reluctance whatsoever that we stand by the story. By the way, nobody has contacted me about it. That should tell you a lot.
Pelosi is an evil warmonger

Someone in her office must have figured out the nutroots will come unglued. The Dems are going to take a bodyblow on this one and its going to be fun to watch. I just hope that Karl has the sense enough to knife them ( politically ) while they are down.
Darth Karl is the Jedi master and all must submit to his will!!! CUE EVIL LAUGHTER!

Well LOL you want us to believe them when they are critical of the Republicans. Sure hurts when the shoe is on the other foot now doesn't it.

When the media (members of the left) speak for the Dems we tend to believe them because they are your kind, after all. Why should they lie. However, they make mistakes-which may or may not have happened here.

I wonder if Pelosi will be smiling under her burka when Islam, the religion she loves so much, forces her to become a property instead of a person?
